Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the multiple display control system of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, application program 101 sends the drawing command needed for display, and this drawing command is sent to graphic interface 102.Graphic interface 102 self-application program 101 receives drawing command, and is sent to middleware 103.Wherein, application program 101, middleware 103 and driver 104 all perform in an operating system, and the graphic interface 102 that middleware 103 provides is identical with the graphic interface of aforesaid operations system plot program bank, therefore middleware 103 can replace said procedure storehouse to receive the drawing command of application program 101, and application program also can not experience the existence of middleware 103.
In one embodiment, graphic interface 102 is by tackling the drawing command of application program 101, then middleware 103 carries out the operation of coordinates translation to tackled drawing command, in order to by drawing command at overall viewing area coordinate, after converting the display coordinate of each display that each graphic process unit controls to, again the drawing command after transforming co-ordinate is assigned to graph of a correspondence processor and carries out the process such as image or graphic plotting, do not need needed for the mode being undertaken processing by plot program bank again reaches.In addition, above-mentioned operating system can be the Windows of Microsoft, and above-mentioned routine library can be Direct3D routine library or OpenGL, but the present invention is not as limit.In other embodiments, available similar operating system and routine library substitute above-mentioned Windows and Direct3D routine library respectively.It should be noted; because current Direct3D routine library can only a display on recognition logic and a graphic process unit; namely meaning can only draw whole display pictures in a graphic process unit; by operating system, aforementioned display device picture is copied to remaining graphic process unit for display again; the process copied due to operating system slowly, therefore by effect that related impact shows.Contrary, the design of middleware 103 of the present invention can identify multiple display simultaneously and control multiple graphic process unit of multiple display, and middleware 103 also can assign the drawing command after coordinates translation to each graphic process unit, so under the middleware 103 of the embodiment of the present invention controls, together display picture can be drawn by multiple graphic process unit.Therefore Multi-display control method of the present invention passes through the design of graphic interface 102 and middleware 103, in order to replace Direct3D routine library to receive the drawing command of application program 101, and the mode of multiplex's process of arranging in pairs or groups accelerates the processing speed of image to reduce the burden of single graphic process unit; On the other hand, graphic interface 102 of the present invention and middleware 103 are when replacing Direct3D routine library to receive the drawing command of application program 101, application program 101 can't experience the existence of middleware 103, that is the present invention is under the framework not changing operating system and driver, reach the object of control based on direct control chart shape processor running simultaneously.
Continue referring to Fig. 1.Middleware 103 and graphic interface 102 couple, receive the drawing command by being transmitted by graphic interface 102, and the drawing command originally carrying out drawing in whole viewing area is carried out coordinates translation, after producing the coordinates translation drawing command corresponding to indivedual graphic process unit, call out driver 104 by operating system clean interface 107 again and assign above-mentioned coordinates translation drawing command to graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n, will describe in detail in addition below the action of assignment coordinates translation drawing command.It should be noted, middleware 103 in one embodiment except the display coordinate of whole drawing area is converted to indivedual graphic process unit control except the coordinate of display, the resource also needing records application program to create and state, the position of the process of such as above-mentioned coordinates translation and record, indivedual resource required for coordinates translation post-plot order corresponding to graphic process unit and these resources.These resources can include, but are not limited to the end points register mode area (vertexbuffer) of Direct3D, index register mode area (indexbuffer), end points coordinates translation program (vertexshader), the information such as pixel color calculation procedure (pixelshader) and textured pattern; Can Direct3D be include, but are not limited to as above-mentioned state, rasterisation state, texture map state, the degree of depth and template state, export the information such as admixture.In addition, the details transmitting corresponding coordinates translation drawing command according to the content shown by indivedual graphic process unit describes, and is described further utilizing Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, Fig. 7, Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B.In addition, operating system clean interface 107 is in one embodiment application programming interfaces (ApplicationProgrammingInterface that operating system is supplied to application program calling driver, API), due to these application programming interfaces be originally be supplied to the use of routine library call driver 104 that replaces by middleware 103, but in an embodiment because of this routine library replace by middleware 103, so middleware 103 also calls out driver 104 by these application programming interfaces.
Driver 104 couples with operating system clean interface 107 and graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n respectively, and after receiving coordinates translation drawing command by middleware 103, what respectively these coordinates translation drawing commands are translated into that graphic process unit can identify again translates drawing command, is then assigned to graph of a correspondence processor 1051 ~ 105n translating drawing command.Driver is the communication bridge between computer operating system and hardware, it is the order (that is above-mentioned translate drawing command) that drawing command operating system transmitted is translated into graphic process unit hardware and recognizes, and this part belongs to the technology known by those skilled in the art therefore do not repeat at this.Graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n and driver 104 couple, receive translated by driver 104 translate drawing command, and control multiple display 106 according to translating drawing command.Multiple display 106 formed to multiple display by one, and couples with graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n.Wherein, each graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n all can control multiple display 106 one of them to multiple display, and in the display buffer of display, image or the graphical content of wish display is drawn according to the instruction of translating drawing command, subsequently under the control of a computer system, the content of display buffer is simultaneously displayed in display.Significantly, because coordinates translation drawing command can be sent to driver 104 by operating system clean interface 107 by middleware 103, again the drawing command of translating of being translated by driver is assigned to graphic process unit 1051 ~ 105n subsequently, so do not need as prior art, can only process in a graphic process unit and the image of drawn Direct3D, again this image is copied to each graphic process unit for display according to display position, but directly by the data of required display, other graphic process unit is sent to by driver, therefore the display speed of 3D image can be accelerated, and hereinafter do more detailed description by the embodiment of the present invention.It should be noted, although the drawing command in overall viewing area may produce the coordinates translation drawing command that at least one corresponds to graphic process unit in display set after coordinates translation, but after such conversion, because indivedual graphic process unit can carry out the drafting operation of figure or image to respective display buffer according to the instruction of coordinates translation drawing command, so the mode by multiplex (MUX) accelerates the processing speed of image, and then reduce the burden of single graphic process unit.
Fig. 2 shows the flow chart of steps of the Multi-display control method of one embodiment of the invention, and this control method can be performed by middleware 103.Please refer to Fig. 2, first in step S201, this method provides the graphic interface identical with a certain routine library of operating system, such as, graphic interface 102 in Fig. 1, and replacing this routine library to accept drawing command to application program, such as, middleware 103 in Fig. 1 receives the drawing command sent by application program.Then, in step S202, determine the display set be made up of multiple graphic process unit according to the viewing area of application program, the picture shown by display that the graphic process unit in this display set controls all has common factor with above-mentioned viewing area.In one embodiment, viewing area is the form of application program shown by the picture of display, and it can cross over multiple display, and the instruction according to application program is drawn and show image or figure by these displays jointly.Then in step S203, the coordinates translation of overall viewing area to respective display is carried out according to display intersection area, after producing the coordinates translation drawing command corresponding to indivedual graphic process unit, then assign coordinates translation drawing command to the corresponding graphic process unit in display set.So, all graphic process unit in display set, can draw in respective display intersection area according to the instruction of coordinates translation drawing command, such as by Plotting data such as the pattern of required display or images in respective display buffer (Displaybuffer), shown the content of respective display buffer subsequently again, to complete the display operation of multiple display by the computer system control all graphic process unit shown in set simultaneously.
Fig. 3 A shows in one embodiment of the invention, the relation schematic diagram of a viewing area and display picture.First please refer to Fig. 3 A, display 211,212,213 and 214 in figure 3 a, it controlled by four graphic process unit GP11, GP12, GP13 and GP14 (not illustrating) respectively.Viewing area AP1A represents the form size and location of current application program, because the picture of viewing area AP1A and display 211,212,213 and 214 all has common factor, therefore display set in the present embodiment comprises graphic process unit GP11, GP12, GP13 and GP14 tetra-processors.As shown in Figure 3A, the picture intersection area of viewing area AP1A and display 211,212,213 and 214 is respectively and shows intersection area A11, A12, A13 and A14, it corresponds respectively to display 211,212,213 and 214, therefore show the graphic process unit GP11 in set, GP12, GP13 and GP14 by receive by driver assign translate drawing command (that is through coordinates translation, with drawing command after driver is translated), respectively process with draw the displaying contents shown in intersection area A11, A12, A13 and A14.Overall viewing area (that is viewing area AP1A) originally will be cut into four display intersection area A11, A12, A13 and A14 after coordinates translation, and carried out the operation of figure/visual renderings respectively by graph of a correspondence processor GP11, GP12, GP13 and GP14 simultaneously, do not need as prior art, only can carry out drafting operation in a graphic process unit.
Fig. 3 B shows in another embodiment of the present invention, the current viewing area of an embodiment and the relation schematic diagram of display picture.Please refer to Fig. 3 B, wherein display 311,312 and 313 controlled by graphic process unit GP21 (not illustrating), display 321,322 and 323 controlled by graphic process unit GP22 (not illustrating), and display 331,332 and 333 controlled by graphic process unit GP23 (not illustrating).As shown in Figure 3 B, the picture of viewing area AP1B and display 311,312,321 and 322 has common factor, so the display set in the present embodiment only comprises the graphic process unit GP21 and GP22 that control display 311,312,321 and 322.Therefore, graphic process unit GP21 and GP22 by receive assigned by driver translate drawing command (translating coordinates translation drawing command and obtain), and process and draw display intersection area A21 and A22, and the displaying contents in A23 and A24 respectively.Same, overall viewing area (that is viewing area AP1B) originally will be cut into four display intersection area A21 and A22 after coordinates translation, and A23 and A24, and carry out the operation of figure/visual renderings by graph of a correspondence processor GP21 (controlling display 311 and 312) with GP22 (controlling display 321 and 322) respectively simultaneously, such as graphic process unit GP21 only draws the content of display intersection area A21 by controlling display 311, do not need as prior art, only can carry out drafting operation in a graphic process unit.It should be noted, the graphic process unit GP31 in Fig. 3 B because of not in display set, so can not receive assigned by driver translate drawing command, the multiple display that also can not participate in viewing area AP1B operates.Moreover, although graphic process unit GP21 and GP22 is arranged in display set, but the display 313 controlled because of graphic process unit GP21 and the display 323 controlled by GP22 do not produce with viewing area AP1B and show intersection area, even if so graphic process unit GP21 and GP22 receive transmitted by driver translate drawing command, but only can control display 311/312 respectively and carry out multiple display with display 321/322, the multiple display that display 313 and 323 then can not participate in viewing area AP1B operates.
Fig. 4 shows in one embodiment of the invention, assigns the process flow diagram of drawing command to the step of each graphic process unit of display set.Please refer to Fig. 4, due in the present embodiment may be 3-dimensional image for the image of display, therefore first in step S400, must judge whether end points (vertex) coordinate in drawing command has been converted to the picture coordinate of display.If the extreme coordinates in drawing command has been converted to the picture coordinate of display, then in step S401, the coordinates translation of whole viewing area is become graphic process unit out of the ordinary control the coordinate of display, after producing coordinates translation drawing command, again for each graphic process unit in display set, only assign corresponding coordinates translation drawing command to display intersection area part, each graphic process unit therefore shown in set only needs to draw the display intersection area of its correspondence.The graphic process unit GP11 of such as Fig. 3 A will only need to draw display intersection area A11, and the graphic process unit GP22 of Fig. 3 B will only need to draw display intersection area A23 and A24.Subsequently in step S403, each graphic process unit in display set is by the content specified by drawing separately, such as by Plotting data such as the pattern indicated by coordinates translation drawing command or images in respective display buffer, and after all graphic process unit in display set all complete drafting, the all graphic process unit shown in set by computer system control show respective display intersection area simultaneously, that is all graphic process unit controlled in display set show simultaneously its control the content of the display buffer of display.
Continue referring to Fig. 4, if find that the extreme coordinates in drawing command is not yet converted to the picture coordinate of display in step S400, then in step S411, according to the extreme coordinates in drawing command and the transformational relation between the picture coordinate of display, and show the display intersection area of each graphic process unit in set, be visual field conversion (viewporttransform) of each graphic process unit setting correspondence in display set.Visual field conversion is one of function of Direct3D, and the conversion of setting visual field is equivalent to set each graphic process unit observable field range among the tri-vector space at above-mentioned end points place.Wherein, extreme coordinates can exist in the form of vectors, more just directly can obtain by the calculating that visual field is changed the picture coordinate be positioned on display.The display coordinate of application program on multiple display due to what change in step S411, so then in step S412, based on the setting of above-mentioned visual field conversion, again the display coordinate of overall viewing area (that is the viewing area on multiple display) is converted to indivedual graphic process unit control the coordinate of display, after producing the coordinates translation drawing command corresponding to indivedual graphic process unit, undertaken translating to produce translating drawing command by driver subsequently, be then sent to graph of a correspondence processor and draw.So each graphic process unit in display set just can only need to draw in drawing command, the part of the display intersection area corresponding to each graphic process unit.Then in step S403, control each graphic process unit will carry out separately drawing the displaying contents of translating specified by drawing command, such as by Plotting data such as the pattern of required display or images in respective display buffer, and when completing, all graphic process unit shown in set by computer system control show respective display intersection area simultaneously.
Below describe in the embodiment of the present invention, for the processing mode of the textured pattern drawn (renderabletexture) of Direct3D.Fig. 5 shows in one embodiment of the invention, assigns and can draw the flow chart of steps of texture drawing command to each graphic process unit in display set.Because after the position coordinates determining end points, another emphasis of display 3-dimensional image object is drafting and the display of the textured pattern of object surface, is therefore illustrated especially.Please refer to Fig. 5, first in step S501, after texture drawing for order can being drawn via graphic interface self-application process accepts, then take out the display position of textured pattern on the picture of display by drawing in texture drawing for order.It should be noted, step S501 is not the test pattern interface of Direct3D, but the extended function of the present embodiment, if so when application program can provide the display position of textured pattern on the picture of display, just by the embodiment of the present invention, graph of a correspondence processor will be distributed to for exhibit textural pattern after carrying out coordinates translation and cutting and draw.Then, in step S502, according to the display position of textured pattern, the textured pattern display intersection area of the picture shown by display that textured pattern each graphic process unit in display set controls is calculated.It should be noted, because same textured pattern may shown by multiple different display, if so do not carry out cutting process for the display position of textured pattern and content, such as calculate the words of coordinate in the display that textured pattern controls in each graphic process unit and required displaying contents, needs are sent to each graphic process unit being responsible for showing this textured pattern whole textured pattern process, waste resource and the time of whole computer system so beyond doubt.But after the invention provides this function, even if coordinates translation and cutting can be carried out to textured pattern further, and be sent to graph of a correspondence processor, this kind of wasting of resources can be exempted.In addition, the viewing area that textured pattern display intersection area means textured pattern and display gather in the picture shown by display that controls of each graphic process unit part of occuring simultaneously, it is included among display intersection area, and describing of this part can do more detailed explanation at Fig. 7.
